[SOLVED] How to connect two external monitors when only one is supported ?

[ruthmarx1]

Hi All,

I have a rather budget Lenovo IdeaPad 3 laptop with an integrated GPU which only has support for one external monitor.
Here is the spec: https://www.johnlewis.com/lenovo-id...-ssd-15-6-inch-grey-charcoal/p5098236#product

What are my options if I want to connect two external displayport monitors? Is there a way of emulating a second graphics card?

you can get an adapter from USB3.1 (Gen1) to e.g. Displayport 1.2 dual monitor.

Which connections do the monitors have?

The two monitors are displayport and the laptop has one hdmi port.
